Tones And I's debut single 'Johnny Run Away' was an instant hit when it was uploaded to triple j Unearthed in February, getting airtime and a tonne of glowing reviews within 12 hours. Combined with 'Dance Monkey', she's now got over 10 million worldwide streams to her name, reached ARIA Gold sales, clocked sold out shows and signed to booking agents around the world.

Tones recently told triple j's Bridget Hustwaite her life has done a "complete 180" and feels a bit more pressure around her live performances "because these people are expecting a show."

"When I’m busking, they’re just trying to get to their car or go into the restaurant, and they don’t expect anything when they turn the corner and when they do, it’s a pleasant surprise. At the same time, I’m not going to try and change myself, I’m just going to do what I do and be who I am."
